Chapter 705: Nanke Chamber of Commerce
As the northernmost city of Great Xia, Tianmen Pass, its geographical location is actually in the center of the entire 100,000 mountains, out of the pass to the north, through the entire Tianmen Canyon, you can set foot on the barren and cold extreme northern snowfield.
The polar night in the Arctic Snow Field takes three years, and although Tianmen Pass has an alternation of day and night, in winter, the sunlight that can really be seen is only a short two hours, but fortunately, there are often gorgeous and dazzling aurora lights hanging in the sky, just like a wisp of star ribbon dancing in the air, beautiful and amazing.
This is also a beautiful scenery that belongs to Tianmen Pass!
If you count according to the standard hour of the Great Xia Divine Capital, it is already the end of the hour at this time, and all the regions in the entire thirty-six states of Great Xia have been brightened, but in the Tianmen Pass, they are still shrouded in deep darkness.
Tianmen Pass is a large southern city, and most of the residents come from the interior, so their living habits are no different from the rest of the thirty-six states, so even if the brilliant aurora hangs overhead, the light has not yet arrived, but the entire southern city has recovered, and the trade activities in the entire city have already begun.
The formation and continuous development of a city requires a strong heart to drive the circulation of blood, Tianmen Pass is remote and the environment is treacherous, and its heart that drives the pulse of the whole city is extremely busy trade.
On the central street of Jianmen Guannan City, there are many chambers of commerce, and the lights lit up in all directions shine like daylight, and at the same time, on the street, countless retail households, gangs and even people from the sect will wrap their whole bodies tightly, and under the aurora, drag the corpses of snow beasts back and forth, and continue to communicate and shout.
In addition to the ferocious momentum that still remains, the snow beast after being slaughtered has one thing in common, that is, the thick white fur, which is as soft as silk when touched on it, which is a natural material that combines warmth and beauty.
A complete snow beast fur, even if it is the lowest-grade snow rabbit, after being collected by Tianmen Pass, changes hands to Shenjing City, this price can be increased hundreds of times, and once it reaches Chuzhou and other rich places in Great Xia, this thousand-fold premium is also common.
With such a large profit, it has become a super driver for the development of Tianmen Guannan City, with tens of thousands of chambers of commerce densely packed and increasing.
On the central avenue of Nancheng, although there are all kinds of chambers of commerce, there is an endless stream of people coming and going, but on the whole, there are still a few families with a huge flow, one of them, the huge banners on the high wall are scattered and flying, and the red two words Nanke on it are particularly conspicuous.
Nanke Chamber of Commerce.
The building is also taller than the surrounding buildings, reaching three floors, and stands out from the crowd on the central street, which is surrounded by two-story buildings.
In Tianmen Nanchengguan, the financial and material resources required to build a house will be hundreds or thousands of times larger than that in the inland, so the size of the chamber of commerce's houses is also a symbol of the financial resources behind it.
The first and second floors of the South Guest Chamber of Commerce are all trading places, which are extremely busy at this time, and there is a faint pungent smell of blood in the air, after all, under the difficult conditions, everything is simple, and most of the hunters who have returned from hunting do not need to be cleaned at all, and directly use their hands that are still stained with blood, take the silver handed over by the steward of the Chamber of Commerce, and leave with a laugh and heroically.
The price offered by the Nanke Chamber of Commerce is extremely conscientious, and it will basically be three to four points higher than the rest of the Chamber of Commerce, so hunters like to come here to trade, and the top floor of this Chamber of Commerce is a study.
In the study, a pot of charcoal burned silently, although it was not the Xuantian charcoal known as the gold in the charcoal, but the heat emitted was quite sufficient, making the whole huge room full of warmth.
On the left and right sides of the study, there are two tall crane candlesticks, the cranes are carved from wood, both with one foot upright, and the candle above their heads burns, emitting light, clearly shining on the face of a middle-aged woman sitting behind the desk.
This woman's face is not gorgeous, but perhaps because she is in the cold border of the north all the year round, her skin is fair and delicate, and there are not too many wrinkles, especially her eyes, which contain a color of wisdom, and then the middle-aged woman looked at a steward below and asked softly:
"Steward Wang, how long has it been since my lord set off for Liuli City in the Extreme North Snow Plain?"
After the faint sound of doubt fell, the steward below thought for a few breaths, and replied:
"The lord and the young lady led the people of the Chamber of Commerce to Liuli City to do business, and it has been about three months!"
"It's been almost three months in the blink of an eye, and time flies so fast. ”
The murmur came from the woman's mouth again, and then she adjusted her sitting position and continued:
"Pearl this girl, the others don't learn, but I want to learn from her father to go to the north to do business, this is a little careless and lose your head, their father and daughter don't return for a day, my heart, a day can not settle down, and for some reason, this time I feel very uneasy in my heart. ”
"Madame, don't worry, if you want to go to the Arctic Snow Plains to do business, our lord says that he is the second, and no one dares to call him the first. ”
After saying this, the middle-aged steward below had a deep pride on his face, and then he bowed his hand again and continued to speak:
"We Tianmen Pass has the qualifications and ability to go north to do business, only the four major chambers of commerce, not to mention the rest, even the first chamber of commerce that is said to have the support of the great forces of Shenjing City, Tongbei Chamber of Commerce, every time you go to business, you have to lose a few good hands, but our southern guest, although it has not been established for a long time, but several times the business has come down, no one has died, this can simply be called the legend of Tianmen Pass. ”
"We will also entrust the blessing of the Bei'an Palace, the rest of the people in Tianmen Pass may not know, but those of us who go north to do business are very clear, the Bei'an Wang Jiang clan with the brave and warlike Northern Army, but those tyrannical snow people are killed and dare not say a word. ”
The middle-aged woman's voice was calm, and then she raised her hand to pick up a cup of tea from the desk in front of her, took a sip lightly, and after a look of thought flashed in her eyes, as if she had thought of something, she asked again:
"It is said that there were some big changes in the Tongbei Chamber of Commerce last night, but there is such a thing?"
The middle-aged lady's voice fell, and the steward below nodded, and opened his mouth to respond:
"Madam, my subordinates are here to report this matter to you, Tongbei Chamber of Commerce, overnight yesterday, including the shopkeeper and dozens of high-level managers, all died violently, and the strange thing is that it was not he who killed, but his own neck. ”
As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged lady's face changed, she leaned forward, and blurted out a question:
"There is such a thing!"
"And earlier, the main gate of the north and south city walls was wide open, and Marquis Jiang personally led the northern army into the south city, and was coming towards the central street!"
